Produktbeschreibung

Paradoxes of Catholicism is a book written by Robert Hugh Benson in 1913. The book explores various paradoxes that are inherent in the Catholic faith. Benson, who was a British Anglican priest before converting to Catholicism, examines the apparent contradictions within Catholic doctrine and practice, and argues that these paradoxes are actually a sign of the faith's depth and complexity.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different paradox. Some of the paradoxes examined in the book include the tension between faith and reason, the relationship between the individual and the Church, and the apparent conflict between science and religion.Throughout the book, Benson draws on his own experiences as a convert to Catholicism, as well as his extensive knowledge of Catholic theology and philosophy. He argues that the paradoxes of Catholicism are not obstacles to faith, but rather opportunities for deeper understanding and spiritual growth.Paradoxes of Catholicism is considered a classic work of Catholic apologetics, and has been praised for its clarity, insight, and intellectual rigor. It remains a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the Catholic faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autorenporträt

Robert Hugh Benson was an English Catholic priest and author who lived from 18 November 1871 to 19 October 1914. He began his ministry as an Anglican priest before being welcomed and ordained in the Catholic Church in 1903. He also wrote a lot of fiction, including Come Rack! Come to Rope! and the well-known dystopian novel Lord of the World. His works include current fiction, children's stories, plays, apologetics, devotional writings, and historical, horror, and science fiction. In parallel with rising through the ranks to serve as a Chamberlain to Pope Pius X in 1911 and earning the title of Monsignor before passing away a few years later, he continued his writing career. Benson, the younger brother of E. F., A. C., and Margaret Benson, was the youngest child of Edward White Benson, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and his wife, Mary. Robert Hugh Benson attended Eton College for his education before attending Trinity College in Cambridge from 1890 to 1893 to study classics and religion. Benson's father, who was the Archbishop of Canterbury at the time, gave him his ordination as a priest in the Church of England in 1895.
